Fire Jutsu Training

It was time to learn some of the simpler things rather than try to take on the big things. After all, learning the new techniques will only harm his body at this point. And so a new approach was going to have to be taken, mixing the small techniques with the bigger ones. For example, on the ninja who have a lower power level than his paralysis, he can put them in a nightmare of an attack known as the Chidori. With that, he just mixed a sweet love tap move with a mind blowing one. Haruki was excited for what the twins had in mind for him today, because today, they had not told him the name. It was probably because of him being so early to their sessions. Come on now, one can’t beat the ambition out of a student now can they? Naturally, they can, but was it a good idea? Well, of course not. Unfortunately for them, that did not stop him. The boy loved surprises, and they offered one to him. And so he would be sitting on a boulder, waiting for the both of them to arrive so that a new technique can be taught to the Akari. They will realize his ambition to learn new things and hopefully give up on whatever they were trying to do to stop him from coming early. Or maybe they would try to be clever the next time around. If that was the game, the hooded boy was more than happy to play. Heck, he will even do it tauntingly as well by rollerblading around the pond as well before saying something like “There you are!” Or maybe they might try to come earlier than he normally did… Yes! That would have worked provided the Akari did not think of the possibility! But unfortunately for them, he had the idea in mind, and was coming one hour even earlier than this. And just like that, Haruki just kicked off one more hour of sleep. This could not be healthy for a growing youth, he was going to be 15 very soon. And it was going to be a requirement to sleep, but he seemed to want to learn things first. Which was fine in all honesty, but it was not the bets method for his body. Oh well, he was a youth who will soon one day love to sleep and be lazy. Who should take down his happiness while he had it? So with that in mind, he was going to look over to the sidce to see the twins approaching. Beautiful! It placed a smile on his face to see them arriving. And the Jutsu that they had was going to be simple according to them. It was going to be a nice trip for him. The course would begin once the Yuri Twins found him, once again early despite their attempts at making sure he did not arrive too early. They meant well, they really did, trying to make sure that they did not stress the youth out of him too quickly. But this was a failed attempt, as like any other will be if they don’t find a way to restrain him until it was actually time. And to even catch him anymore was going to be a tough time. So with that being said, it was time to begin the new technique!
 

The hand seals were Tiger, Ox, Rat, Bird, and Tiger. Five signs for a simple jutsu. Haruki found something very wrong with this. It was not fair to just put five in his face for a D rank one! But it did not matter, and he knew this, so he will not complain to them and give them a headache. Instead, he will try to get this down and call it a day. The signs in front of him were repeated one more time before he placed his palms out to the signs needed, the Tiger, the Ox, the Rat, the Bird, and the Tiger again before sending the Chakra up towards his palms as he would fire them forward, a ball of fire forming before launching at an okay speed in front of him. It did not gain much distance, but it would explode after the fact to make up for it. Haruki felt a little bit more Chakra waiting, so he would then fire three more before feeling empty once again. If one thing made him feel empty, it was stressing over such a technique. It was done though, and now it was time to get out. One more thing to add onto his list of attacks. Soon, he will be examined for what he knew. The exams last he heard were five months away… Meaning that it was time to get ready for them. The Kage was going to expect the best of the youth, and Haruki was there to serve him. However... Considering such a task was far away as it was, the fact that the exam was on his mind was not going to fly too well if it would restrain him from thinking of developing. It was unfortunate enough as it is to have the attention span of a gnat... Most of the time... Besides, one development in particular, the Hikariton, was getting to him. It was just too interesting to let go of now… And apparently, he was able to use it as well thanks to his eyes. The clan had interesting techniques despite them being so bloody simple. But he was not one to let things go just because they seemed easy. Besides, the book only told him so much. It was up to him to find the rest of the things and put the pieces together. So he would wave backwards at Yuri and Yuuri before pacing towards the village, and so he would enter the library once again. It was time to learn a bit more.

Edited accordingly, should be set now. x3

This time, they were going to teach him something that can be used as both an offense and defensive move against opponents. With it, he was going to have a sphere around him to protect him against attacks that are within the average range of attack power. That being said, it was best for him to use it for only defense purposes, since it did not provide too much attack power, and it was able to cover his whole body. While it did not layer his body too well, it was safe to say that it was a good enough barrier for him to work with considering his current rank. Against other Genin, it was a better idea to just stick with the simple things. One does not learn by simply going for the offensive side. Besides, if Haruki wanted to inflict heavy amounts of damage onto an opponent, it would be best for him to have enough Chakra to do so. So with that in his mind, he would have the mentality of him learning something really powerful, but something that will only be used when he wants to prevent damage infliction onto him. It turns out, he was a bit more of a Glass Cannon than he thought. While not the most vulnerable, the young boy discovered that his body was not designed to take too much damage, not without repair at least. If he wanted to advance further with his health, he was going to need some items. And items required money. And money required a job. And a job required a team. And a team required people. Fortunately, he had been seeing more and more grow up to be Genin. Soon, he might just have the team that he was looking for, and they would be able to nail jobs. But that left him with a question. Say that he did obtain a team of Genin, who would be the teacher for them then? That was something he had yet to consider. Was it assigned to him, or did he get to choose? Chances are if he got to choose, it was much too late for him now to try it. However, they were given their titles for a reason, and most likely will make promising teachers. All they had to do was pluck one from the group and carry on with the day. Nice to know that he was able to reassure himself with the logic that the Hikariton tends to screw up. The illusions that were not Genjutsu, Haruki took pride in the clan that he was born from. His mother taught him clever ways to use the light as well, she would be so proud. And while she was not alive in the physical world, the fact that she can access his mind and talk to him in his sleep was more than enough to bring him happiness. His mother had been found... Sort of. Ever since the nightmare that he had, he wondered why her voice had been silenced... When she tried to answer some of the most serious questions. He still wondered if there was someone monitoring her. Hopefully not, she seemed like the type of person who liked freedom, despite her being able to bind her own son to a Genjutsu trick. Such a nasty route for his mother to take, but the images in his mind were blank and had little to no recollection, so the mental scarring was not in him either. Beautiful.

Fire Release, a whirlwind. When he thought of a whirlwind, he thought of a tornado. So it was able to bring things closer to it before spitting things back out, ripping them from the inside out since the winds had the strength of a tornado, not to mention the atoms that are breaking and the amount of force being applied to the body from all directions. It almost made the element of wind look like a nasty thing. Almost, but not quite when one were to compare it with the other elements. Water was able to drown someone, depriving them of air and killing them if that oxygen is needed. Earth was able to bury someone alive, resulting in the same fate as water. Fire rips open a body from the outside and devours them so that only the ashes were left. And then Lightning, able to instantly kill a being if the strike were direct. Even if not, paralysis was a nasty negative effect that most people probably would not like. No movement, the fear of one being able to kill you at that moment. While Haruki was not the type, many would use it to lecture their victim with some sort of long backstory so that "They can know them" or something like that. While it did stall for time, the Akari did not give less of a damn his opponent. All he would like was for the paralysis to be done so that he could go back to ripping holes in the body and the mind more than their mental train of thought had. With this fire, however, it was most likely that he would be able to mix that with his lightning to ultimately just put a person in total lockdown. As for his clan element... He still needed to find how it would fit into his plan. He was sure that he was able to do it, but it would require more time and more studying. Mainly the studying, time was something he always had since he was still a minor. He'll soon have to own his own place, but not right now. So while he was add it, he did not have to work for food and pay for a roof to live under, and indulging in such a beautiful reality was all that he can do now.

As usual, the boy was early for their training. It seems like they tried nothing to prevent him from being early. Was there some sort of prank around the area? Quickly, he would blink one time before his light brown eyes would end up flashing with a bright Golden Color. Eyeing the scene around him, he'd try to find something so that he can prevent himself from meeting an unfortunate fate. His reaction time was much higher, and his legs felt ready to spring in case a trap was nearby. He'd prepare himself as he stepped into the river to see if there is some sort of Genjutsu trick. Nothing based on what he could see, but he was going to play it safe and activate the Genjutsu Release. His palms would form the Tiger sign before he focused on the Chakra on his body. Whatever illusion there was around him should be dispelled by now. With that, he's open his eyes again and continues to tread on the water before then being greeted by one of the twins behind him. Good morning Haruki! I see you are getting yourself some water, eh? Not good before you practice fire techniques ya know! The sudden alarm would cause the Akari to flail his arms up and down by his sides before trying to gain his balance. However, he was Haruki Akari, and the default rule of being such a character was that would don't quite have the best of balance when caught off guard. So he'd fall back into the river, leaving a mighty splash behind as he unsuccessfully tried to keep himself safe. It seems that he had not quite the Surface Walking technique down just yet, it was probably time for him to get his ass thrown back into the Academy. Like hell would he actually return, though, he would most likely be the oldest student there... And for what gain? He knew everything there! It was possible to get back there if his mission success rate was not looking too good... So that was another excuse for him to not take them... Or so he would like to think, but he had been informed plenty of times that inactivity will bring him down a good few ranks if it kept at a constant pace, so the goal was to make sure the ninjas were active. So Haruki was no different... Unfortunately. It was probably a better idea to start a job once he learned this one last technique. After all, it would not be polite to make Yuri and Yuuri come here for nothing and have their time wasted.

Come on! That is not fair, I was about to turn and greet you! Can one tell that he was not quite the best of the best when it came to making up stories? Yuuri would laugh a bit before placing his palm out, offering to help the hooded boy up from the grounded state that he was unfortunately in. His pride was high, but not too stupidly high that he would not take the hand. So he would accept it so that getting up would not be that hard a task to do. Once that happened, he would be back up onto his feet, and he would then feel the heat as the water would begin to get away from his clothes and his body. The twins were drying him off, how nice of them. The boy would cross his arms as he felt the air around him making him cold, if the twins were not there, who knows how cold it would have been. Maybe he should have used his own fire, but Haruki was not thinking straight at the moment, causing this to be the result in the end unfortunately for him. Thanks. You both surprised me, I thought you had something set up for me. The Akari would explain bluntly before a towel would be wrapped around him. He'd use a second one provided to him to place on his head, after taking off his hood. That was the first time either of the Yuri twins saw him without the hood on, let alone both of them. Let such a day be recorded down in the history books, another win for humanity. Only his mother and a few reclusive others have been able to see him like this. Aunt Nea for example, who probably sees it every day actually. Anyways, it was time to get started on the training. So with a few more minutes, he would impatiently stand back up on his feet before looking over towards the twins. All right guys, I am ready to learn of the whirlwind. I feel better now, so let's begin this session! The hooded boy would tell them. They would look at each other for a moment, look back at him, look back at each other again, hesitate... Hesitate again, then look back at him before Yuri would speak to him. You sure you want to do that kid? You just got out of the freezing water, it is not recommended you get back in. You are used to the hot sand, not the water. The concerned teacher would explain. And while it was the concern, Haruki did not care. In the end, if he were alone in the winter, he would survive in the cold and still try to make progress. One had to have a tough shell. And while he did not have the highest health bar, he was still able to make up for that in the long run by training his body and getting items to prevent him from staying down low to where he was. So with that said, he would nod his head happily. Of course I am sure! This is going to be a breeze! Besides, how am I going to live out in the real world if I can't even handle a little bit of a cold? Famous last words... Before he will get sick. Oh well, at least he gets a few days to recover. With that said, he had them both ready to teach him the new technique.

All right, the signs are Monkey, Bird, Dog, and Ram. With those, you would then release the flames around your body and cause it to spin. The man would explain before he would place his hands in front of him. The four signs would be carried out, just like he had said. The air around him felt a little bit warm, a drift occurring. Two arms would wrap around his being when he realized that he was about to be taken in by the stronger winds. Looking up, he would see the other half of the Yuro twins holding him still so that he would not get pulled in by the technique. It was good to know that he was being taken care of during their session. Once that had been taken care of, a small half sphere would be formed around the body of the other half of the twins, the flames spiraling and the smaller objects being quickly dragged into it, burning into ashes and eventually, falling into nothing but cute little pieces of ash. The sphere would then begin to die down, the flames no longer as strong and the heat not being as warm before it would then die down, and right in the center of it was him still inside of the dome, not a single being inside of it other than himself. All of the leaves and the sticks inside had been burned as well, meaning that they were gone with the sand. That was it right there. It will be good when someone gets too close, or maybe when someone tries to throw a bunch of things at you. It is supposed to act as a protective barrier to protect one, but it is not as strong as you would think, so I don't suggest you relying on it. I would suggest you look for a Hyuuga to train you in a Palm Rotation, heard those have not been losing their edge. Of course, that is all up to you kid. But for now, since there is not a Hyuuga in sight, you are just going to have to learn this for now. So whenever you are ready, you may start. Well, that sounded fair to the boy, who would nod his head in response before being let go by the other twin that was once holding him. They would step away from him so that they would obtain distance, good call.

All right, the signs were Monkey, Bird, Dog, and Ram. Everything ended with Ram, making things easier and more predictable when he would like. And then there was the fact that he had fours signs, which was about average for the things that he normally had to learn. Once he had this down pat, he would be ready to defend himself from attacks, even when it may or may not be needed. Fire Release: Flame Whirlwind! The boy would exclaim as the wind around him were beginning to push towards his body. The heat was not as strong as he felt them be before since he was the one casting it and the resistance for him were much higher since that was the case. The flames around him would engulf the air around him, surrounding his body and spin around intensely. Nothing could be seen from the inside, but he felt rather secure in the wall. He held the Ram sign, in case that was what the Jutsu needed in order to keep itself up rather than having itself collapse. It made him smile to know that he had a sense of security while in it. While that was just an illusion and he was not actually safe from everything on the outside. It felt great, however, the warmth, it was like he was in a dome of comfort. It was only for protection, though, and eventually, it would die out as the flames would weaken, the link to his Chakra broke and the winds were no longer there. That was the end of that, he was successful in the end. Placing his hands on his chest, he would feel warm that he had in his body. It seems like he was getting a good grip on the element of fire. And there was much more to be learned in the future, all in due time of course. When he is ready, he will take down whatever challenges that his mother had promised. However, he would need to be ready, and start off a venture while he was still a Genin would only lead him to a quick yet slow death at the same time. There were those who wanted chaos, and he may have liked it to a certain degree... Until it then hurts people. Then those chaotic people have a problem with the prankster. Haruki was set, he felt the flames in his body rising. His body would only take so many techniques at a time, to learn another would begin to hurt his body. Provided he learned some lower ranking techniques, he would be all set for the things to come in the future. While he could train them, they would not get too much of a boost. At least, not in his opinion. So he would just take on missions since that seemed to be the next best thing. Hopefully, a Genin can take them.

Now it was time for the Akari to depart from them, waving them off before leaving the session. It was time to study one more time before dedicating the rest of his day towards finishing up the final touches. Some more basic techniques and some more skills and he should be all set actually. It was time to put the final touches, then attempt to get rich. Yes, he has been holding that off for far too long, and he will soon have no excuse for it. Aunt Nea could use the help anyways.

Haruki decided to have a session of his own, something to help him out. When he was looking back on his techniques, he noticed that one in particular was a branch off of an original. That meant there there was more to it than just lightning. It seems he was able to manipulate the shadows, but only if he goes directly to the lightning to do so. As confusing as that may sound, that was probably the best way it could be described. The Lightning Clone technique allowed him to bring out three Lightning Clones. They were able to act on their own, but often were able to thing the same way he did, meaning that he could come up with a plan any time and he would be able to execute it with them without them being told. It was a nice deal, but he did not like how he was constantly losing his Chakra when he had them up. And he felt like he could squeeze in one more small technique before he would then look into more fire techniques. Today was an off day, meaning that he was able to go by the river of the desert on his own. With that, he would try to practice what he had stuided. According to the studies of the Clone Jutsu, he was going to have to hold a sign. And for this case, he needed to hold a special sign. It was him when he holds up both pointer and middle finger together. It was like holding a cigar, but with nothing in between them. Eh, horrible example. It was like that hand flick that people do to wave people goodbye. Another horrible example. Anyways, he had to do that with both hands before crossing them together, as if he were doing addition, and he was forming the plus sign. He would then have to try to split the Chakra up to the sides of his body. The reason he was to do this was so that he had a bit more control over the flow of his Chakra. While he was maxed out on it, control was still questionable. Plus, if he had more than three clones, but five, that would make a huge difference. Was there such thing as fire clones? Because then that would make seven or eight clones, on top of the original being. That would be a lot of Haruki's to deal with, all doing their own little things. Is the world ready for such a thing? He certainly believed not, which is why he wanted to learn it. Another beautiful thought came to mind. What if each of them used Chidori? Wait, no, that would be a lot of Chakra used. But what if each clone used a different Jutsu, all of different ranks? While it might not seem any better, it was a better idea than simply all of them using A rank force, in which even his own body is unable to hanle all at once.

Why would he even learn it in the first place? Well, there was the question of how badly he might be outnumbered in battle, and he needed something to pose a threat with. Three clones plus him alone was not going to send an army. In fact, even with the Shadow Clone Jutsu, he was still not going to send them away. That was where he was a little bit stuck. However, he thought that he had a solution to this. All he would have to do is have them use some sort of intimidation factor. Maybe each other them could use a Blinding Ball Jutsu, allowing them to really make a bright scene. So bright that only the average Akari Clans member could see through it. Now if he were in battle for some reason with an Akari, and if it were life and death, then the next best thing that needed to be done was him using some sort of technique that they did not have. Fire was a requirement to get the eyes. Lightning was a requirement to get the eyes. But there was no other element, and he felt like he could learn one more thing... One more thing... Like maybe water. Lightning mixed well with water, and would only amplify water. And water would also take down fire. That was the better idea if he had to fight someone from his family. However, he prayed that such a thing would never happen to him. He liked to believe that all of them were good people that just had some sort of misunderstanding. Maybe someone was at fault, but did that mean that those actions spoke for the clan itself? Common sense said no, and Haruki liked to go by that. However, his mother told him to take advantage of common sense, and then Image Manipuolation was a usedful attack technique once he did that. So with that in mind, he had to take note that his family was one to mess with common sense and in stincts to win a battle. Maybe that was why he liked to play pranks on people, since they always just do what they normally do before they would have a random bit of ramen they had taken away from them, only for him to have a bite before giving it back. If he found kids like that around his age in his clan, that would make him so happy. Maybe it would be a little it boring since no one would seem different, which is why he liked to be at the Sand Village, since no one was like him. No one can say that they were another Haruki. It made him special among them. Hopefully they would understand that if he ever met them. His mother did not want him to try yet, since apparently there were ninja much stronger than him trying to take his life away, and he would just make it a lot easier for them if he got away from the village. With that in mind, it was best that he paid attention to her. There was so much power in her, and yet for her to warn him, what would he face? After all, the Genjutsu that she placed on him could not be taken down with the Release, meaning she had a lot of Chakra flowing through her veins. Amazing to think about, yet scary at the same time. However, he was her son, and so he knew that he was able to reach the heights that she had reached.

The boy would make it by the river, all alone. Taking in his surroundings, he would notice how hot it was today. Beads of sweat would drop down his forehead, his face alreay turning a little bit red. The hooded child needed to take a small break. Some water should do him some good. And he would bend onto his knees when he was at the edge of the water. Once he did that, the reflection would look back at him, the boy smiling as he looked closely. Blinking one time, he would see the image of his mother on the right side. His light brown eyes would turn over towards that direction, only for him to see nothing there. That was right, she was not with him in the physical world, but in spirit. And so he would look bak, and sure enough, the reflection of her was not there. It was him seeing things that he would love to see. Heck, he did not even have access to her, and last he checked, she no longer had access to him for a while. After all... Fourteen years, imagine how much power she had to store up to get that chance to teach him a few basic things before being pulled back. Provided she was trying her best to get to him for so long, he would be around 27 or 28 when they got a chance to meet once again. However, that would depend on how old he was when he was dropped at the village gates. The little sleeping child who had been taken care of, but why was his mother not doing so well? It made him question the trials that his mother had to go through in order to bring him there. And why she was even away from the clan of the Akari. If they were anything like him, they should be good people, right? Oh well. The boy would proceed to scoop some of the water in his palms. It had a little bit of chill in it, probably enough for him to get toned down on the heat a little bit. If he did not take the chance now, he would proabbly not get the chance for a long while. The sun was only getting brighter, and only a few minutes would remain before the water was hotting than the sand at the desert. Oh man, the pain he had to go through last time. But at least he met a very kind young lady! As he got the water to splash onto his face, he would then take a few scoops more before trying to drink it, only for him to spit it out. PFFT! Salt Water... How lovely. It was not like that of a beach, but it was remotely close. Not even Haruki wanted this much salt, even when he was pranking someone with a terrible anger problem, or whenever he was eating a bowl of ramen. Recovering from that nasty experience, he would stand back up onto his feet once again before shaking his head from side to side.

All right, time to learn what he was supposed to. So he would place his palms as close to the form that he needed as he could, which was the plus sign. Once that occurred, two clones were supposed to appear. But nope, they did not do such a thing, and so he would place his palms back at his side. Maybe he needed to focus his Chakra towards the sides first? Shrugging his shoulders, he would feel like it was worth a try. And so he would close his eyes, calming his body down so that it was able to flow a bit easier. It was hard to keep the control of Chakra in check, but relaxing was able to loosen up the energy and flow a lot better. It was kind of sad, since he needed to find a way to force it in battle rather than keep it concealed. Oh well, now was not the time to worry over something as trivial as that. Once he had the Chakra where he felt was best, he would try once more to get it right, placing his hands in the plus sign that he needed in order to summon them. After holding it, it seems like nothing was working. Well what was the problem? The Chakra was where it needed to be, and he had the sign again. Keeping his eyes closed, he would try to remember what he had read at the library, seeing if some sort of mental image would help him out. Last he recalled, he had those two things down. What if it was something that was in the Clone Jutsu itself? Well, to do that, he had to think about the image of himself. Was that what needed to be done? Chakra and signs were nothing without a little bit of thought in them. It was like having all of the tools, but doing nothing wth them. And with that, he knew what he had to do, just focus the thoughts on himself. Focus on making another version of him, sort of like the drawings that he would make on himself and the 64 Chakra points in his body. It was sort of like Anatomy, and the more he thought about that, the more details that he was able to get into his mind about himself. And what about him did he want from the clone to mimic? Everything if Haruki could help it, and so the clone would have his happy and playful personality, have a tendency to smile... And overall, just be him, think like him, look like him, and all of that sort of thing.

All right, and once he had the image down in his head, he would execute the task like he had thought of it to be. The Chakra would flow towards his sides again, which was harder since his mind was distracted on focusing on how he should spread his energy. But despite having his mind do two things at once, he was eventually able to get that set within a few seconds. Placing his palms out in front of his body once again, he would place out the plus sign with his hand once again. Eyes closed, mind focused on only the images, two beings on his sides would form from clouds of smoke. Opening them again, they would all look at each other, all three of them. Wow, that was amazing! Heyo! Are you both me? The real one would ask the other two, in which they would reply to him at the same time. Yup! HEre we are! I did it! And that was it, he had just made two Shadow clones without any help from his mentors, the Lightning clone Jutsu was done with a teacher, this one was done without one. Oh the beauty of learning, he might not even need a teacher later on. However, since his body seemed to be lacking things the need to be learned left, he would feel himself pretty much almost all the way full. Maybe he could fit in one or two more techniques, but it was just getting him all too full. This could not be healthy for his body, but it did not matter as long as he diid not go overboard, and even the Akari knew his limits. The Chakra did exhaust his limit a little bit, and so the clones and himself would all go by the stream. They all seemed to have the same knowledge, since the clones would proceed to only splashing water on their faces, rather than trying to drink it. Thatw as beautiful, they already had the same sort of knowledge and logic. With that, one can focus on Lightning Techniques, one can focus on fire, and Haruki himself can focus on the Hikariton. What? He was the original one out of the three of them, he deserved to have the best one. Yes, he did prefer the light over the basic elements, since the lower ranking ones were just as useful as his A and B rank basic ones. The boy has to learn a few more techniques first however before he can truly say he learned the Hikariton. And without an Akari to teach him this time, it was not going to be a cakewalk. However, the determined Haruki would proceed to trying his best at the job anyways to master the element of his clan. After cooling himself back, he would put up the sign once again to have the clones no longer there for him. While it was nice to have them around, he would not like to keep them forced into the world. At least, that would be his excuse if they were not able to get themselves out of there. Instead, he will just say that he wanted to be the only Haruki, and not be forced to feed the other two of them. Half honest, and fifty fifty chances were not too bad when it came to probablity. Heck, he had to depend on those chances plenty of time, and he was often on the lucky end of the deal. When he failed, they tend to be in situations that don't often bring him much harm.

Now it was time for him to return back home. There was not much he really needed to do at this point, maybe just help Aunt Nea. Tomorrow, he planned to start off with learning a simple D or E rank Jutsu, then take on a mission. At this point, his childish body was not able to take in too many things, even with a high amount of Chakra. That was fine, he just needed to train it a little bit more, and what better training was there than real life situations? Though they are not too dangerous, they would allow him to make a quick ryo or two. Walking away from the river, he would make his way back towards the village gates, where he would find the peopel in the town walking around and chatting like usual. Did he plan to prank them? Nah, with what? The same tricks? Shadow Clones were just lightning clones with no elements in them and no need to run extra Chakra through them for the longer amount of time that they are even alive. It was not make any sense to try the same tricks that he already performed. Aunt Nea was going to need a but of help with cleaning up the house, and he ould use all of the lones, both Shadow and Lightning, to do the trick. Heck, he himself will help around since that was the fair thing to do. Anything else after that? Eh, not really. The Twin were coming by tomorow and were going to offer him one more technique before he was off to a mission or two. It was going to be busy during that time. But for now, it was time to help out, then most likely rest, as a new day was approaching. A simple plan for someone with a simple mind. How fitting this scenario was. Time to execute the plan though. The child was about to rise up.

Shadow Clone

The final Jutsu before he went off to do some missions. Was he excited? Most certainly! This was going to be it, the final drop of power to add onto his list of things before he would advance. Did it make him sad to end it? Not quite, since he planned to learn more. This was like his Lightning teacher, the one he never got the name of. He did leave a good quote behind. "This is not a goodbye, this is a see you later." And this case, it would just be a little bit of time with the Yuri Twins. They would have to hold on the sessions for now, and it was kind of sad for that to happen since there were many techniques. But he was not going to learn so many things that will end up throwing him over the edge. That was for the exams to do. And according to his teachers, things were going to be a lot more hectic there than any mission there was. Well looking at the recent missions board, the most that he was able to do was stop a prankster... Which was still out on the run. Oh no. That was not going to slide with Haru. That was going to be the first mission to take, there could only be one, and Haruki would not let himself be stood up by any fake! That being said, there may have also been a Ryo reward for it or not, but it was best they did not look too much into that... Maybe...

So Haruki was early as usual, and the twins would then arrive and greet him in their usual manner. Hey Haruki! This is our last day before we take a break, so we are going to teach you something that is a bit different, but will hlep your allies out a lot in battle. Basically, they will not be feeling too much pain. this is not a Ninjutsu however, but a Medical Jutsu. Yuuri would explain. Medical? Eh, it was not something that he would have preferred to do, but what did he know? Fuinjutsu was advertised pretty well, and the fact that he had the ability to seal the Chakra of others was something that he would be more than willing to do. Oh well, Medical had to mess with Chakra in some points, right? And so he would just ask questions. A Medical Jutsu? What does it do? The most generic question to be asked. Oh well, the twins were more than happy to answer, as Yuri would be the one to take the wheel in this case. This is called the Chakra Anesthetic. With it, you are able to inject Chakra into the nervous system of the one you are targeting. You null their senses, and they are unable to feel pain. If you are fighting alone, you can use it on yourself. And the shock of pain will soon just fly away.

Sounded interesting. Haruki would nod his head as he would then watch one of them demonstrate it. Time to pay attention to the hand seals that were being formed. This was Yuuri doing it, placing his palms first into the Hare sign... Already things were getting interesting, since that was a rarely used sign. The second was an Ox, which was a bit more common. And the third was a Monkey, meaning that things were back to normal. Then he'd plce his palm outwards to show five flames, one at the tip of each finger. That was an amazing sight! But what will he do with them? See, when you use this, you have to inject it. It has been used to prevent pain from being felt, so surgery can be done easier rather than using some sort of liquid poison. However, injecting it is the harder part. You are going to have to pressure it through the body of someone, but only a little bit. Just slam the fingers in, and the Chakra will stop when the time is right. The wound will only be minor and heal after a few minutes, and it completely numbs the body. Say someone is suffering from poison, they can have this done on them, and the pain will not be on them as one can try to remove it. Plus, surgery can be really painful when the senses are not nulled. Now that you seem to know just about everything from it, you should be all set.

With that, Haruki would nod his head one time, preparing to execute the task at hand. The Chakra Anesthetic, it was not like anything he learned in the past. It was fire, surely, but it was not a Ninjutsu. This was foreign fround for him. Still however, it was definitely a topic of interest, and so he would take that interest and attempt to carry it out. The first sign was easily done, the Hare. Second came the Ox, and the third was the Monkey. Easy! With that, he would send the Chakra towards his right palm. Once that happened, the flames would emit from the tips of his fingers. Of course, he would not try to test it out, since it would have to dig into the body of someone. And last he checked, none of the three of them were paitents. Awesome! Haruki would exclaim, admiring the flames that were not on his hands. While it was not really a set of flames, they certainly looked like some, which was badass and made a good threat. This was a perfect final touch to the set of techniques that he had ready. Now that that was out of the way, he was ready to take on the missions that he had planned. The world had better get itself ready, a Haruki is about to walk on it. He would wave off the Yuri twins as he headed for the Missions Board, ready to take one on.
